Be sure to stay tuned to the dopehouse this week as we’ll be dropping an acoustic version of Wale’s Diary; the Marsha Ambrosius-assisted, Sleepwalkers-produced cut off Attention Deficit (available now). Above is some footage of the live instrumentation being played for the record. Shouts to the homie Matt on the heads up.

I still have no clue who Kida is, but being associated with Focus seems to prove positive as the first track I heard from dude was featuring some heavy hitters. I posted an incomplete radio rip of this a few days ago. Now it’s time for that CD quality! Shouts to Ty Cannon.

Here’s some footage from Marsha’s performance last month at SOB’s in NYC. She also talks to me about working with Just Blaze and Dr. Dre on her new album – and the differences of going solo vs. her work with Floetry.

Marsha Ambrosius, formerly one half of British soul duo Floetry, came to London for a one-off solo show at UK Soul Jam, Jazz Cafe on July 5th 2009. SoulCulture recorded her performing crowd favorites Say Yes (shown above) from Floetry’s debut album and Take Care (after the jump) from her mixtape, Your Truly….

But back to the concert. Opening with Co-Star, Ambrosius launches into a combination of old and new material, including Say Yes and a thumping new song produced by Dr Dre. Incorporating the lyrics to Thriller as verses in the Floetry classic Getting Late, she eases into a tribute to Michael Jackson with a rendition of Butterflies on the piano, followed by a snippet of Cry – an unfinished song she has written for him

During my time in New York I got word of this years Smirnoff Signature Mix series and who was doing what. I’ve been wanting to let that out of the bag, but I’m a cup of my word. Anyways… the info is out there and thanks to my man Diego we got the first leak! Marsha Ambrosius joins Nas to revise one of his classics. The two other joints you can expect are Nice & Smooth collabing with Pacific Division for Funky For You ‘09 and Kardinal Offishall & Buckshot doing I Got Cha Open ‘09. Above is a clip of Marsha talking about the record. Shouts to Mikey Fresh.

First we gave you the mixtape, then we brought the NoDJ version and now we’re hitting you off with the instrumentals. I really like how they did it with this project. Courtesy of TheStudioRats and Don Cannon; who had the following to say…

You have to understand, I do a lot of mix-tapes every year. I put the same amount of effort and work in each one. But there is always one that ends up being very special. Yours Truly by Marsha Ambrosius, produced by focus… and hosted by myself has reached over 125,000 downloads and those numbers are not inflated. Since then we have dropped the version with no DJ and now I bring to you the instrumentals. Every track on here was produced by the homie and aftermaths finest, Focus…, be sure to keep these in your library. It’s a classic
